iOS 7 and a new iPhone are both near-certainties, but what about everything else?
Ars Technica - On September 10,
Apple will host its first major event since its Worldwide Developers
Conference (WWDC) back in June. Unlike that event, which revolved around
mostly product announcements and not product launches, Tuesday's
keynote "should brighten everyone's day" with a bunch of shiny new
stuff.
This list isn't comprehensive, but it should encompass all of the
major announcements that Apple could make. We'll also share just how

A release date for iOS 7 will be one of the largest announcements we get from the show. While iOS 6 was all about spit-and-polish,
iOS 7 is the most extensive redesign Apple's mobile operating system
has gotten since its introduction in 2007. It brings new features, new

of flatter, brighter colors and gradients. The new operating system
will support the iPhone 4, 4S, and 5; the fifth-generation iPod touch;
and the iPad 2, iPad mini, and both Retina iPads. It's the end of the
line for both the iPhone 3GS and the fourth-generation iPod touch
(though there have been rumblings that the iPad builds may not be ready at the same time as the iPhone and iPod builds). Read More
